Episode 112 features the video Reservation. Our focus is the Northern Plains. The Cree and the Blackfoot controlled much of the Northern Plains before disease weakened them and the United States gained more power in the region. The policy of the U.S. was to create reservations for all Native Americans, and to force them to live on or return to reservations. The vision given Crow Chief Plenty Coupes when he was a 10-year-old boy helped guide the Crow Nation to be friendly to the United States at all costs. Consequently, they helped construct forts on their reservation and provided scouts in the Great Sioux War. This was an era of massacres and betrayal. Expansive Reservations were all pared down to smaller ones, even for those who provided scouts and other support for the United States. Many Native Americans still live on those reservations today.
